I’m not perfect and I wouldn’t want to be

My name is Monica, I’m 17 years old and I live in Bucharest, Romania. I am a passionate person of art and, to me, that means I aspire to an ideal of perfection.

Art means work, dedication and talent. And my favorite aspect of art is related to what you can offer the world. You can capture and enjoy glances through drawings, you can delight the hearing through music and you can touch a heart through writing.

Of all the arts, I would always choose writing. It represents me and gives me the opportunity to be noticed. I don’t want to be a simple girl that you’ve just seen once in the park, in a crowd. I want to be known for what I write, what I say and what defines me. No matter whether I’m full of contradictions and confusions.

At the end of the day, I’m a simple person who can do anything, doing nothing. A simple person, fragile and strong, full of dreams, illusions and ideas that change with every sunrise. And all I have to offer is an attitude, some words that could change your state of being and some facts that may prove what you mean to me.

Not many get to know me. I don’t do it too well, either. I know I love the silence behind the noise, peace in the middle of the bustle, the cold from outside and the warmth inside the people. I love adventure, adrenaline and emotions that smile at me when I venture into the unknown. I love to listen, to help, to be a pillar of support along the way of those who walk into my life.

I like to know that I have left a positive trace in the future of a person, a person who often is my companion on this journey. And this makes me happy. I love to travel, to learn something new, to walk and to enjoy different cultures. I like to read about the worlds that I have not known or about the world from inside my head. Especially because I love the human psychology very much.

I can see many aspects of my life by simply paying attention to details. Even if I love to draw, I do not always like to do it. I know that sounds contradictory. It really is. People change their behavior from one moment to another.

This is something that I hate about people. But I’m human, too, right? I often make mistakes, as well, even if I do not realize it. These things annoy me. And that’s what makes me an impulsive person… But this feature doesn’t bother me, for it gives me time to be alone and understand myself. Even if I don’t like loneliness.

While, I know I’m human, by what I do, by what I express, my human side remains a mystery to me. I’m not perfect and I would not want to be, but whatever I do, I want it to be perfect, at least in my vision. Although many times it’s hard for me to get things to an end, because I’m not a patient person, I have enough ambition to finish my projects.

A simple girl who is not noticed in the crowd? Don’t worry. That will not happen. 🙂
A happy new year to you “Monique”, and to your family (A good job for your Dad in particular).
A year you will turn 18. OMG. 🙂
Please pardon my silence in the past few weeks, I’ve been traveling with very little internet and now my in-box is swamped.
I owe you a couple of things I will get to as soon as I can.
Bon week-end

A happy new year to you, too, dear Brian. To you and to your loved ones 🙂 Yes, you’re right, I’ll turn 18. I can also say OMG!!! 😀 I was in silence, too, Brian, because of some projects in my real life. BTW, you owe me nothing, my friend. If you can do it it’s OK, if not, it’s not a problem. Have a great weekend! Mo-hugs

Yes. It is difficult. Especially after a certain age, but then, sometimes there are things one learns on the way that can be useful for other jobs. Let’s say he speaks 3 languages for his media job, he could switch to translating. Or interpreting. The thing is to look at one’s strengths and weaknesses in a different way. And sometimes, new ideas pop up. Worth a try.

It is worldwide. Unfortunately. Worse is they won’t even hire experienced people for low salaries. “No, no, we can’t pay you so little!”. But… it takes faith, and patience, and obstination, and he may find something. Or, like I said, do something else. Entirely. That is also possible. Good luck to all of you. (And above all, make sure your Dad’s morale remains up, that’s the key)
